How the Council handles conflicts of interest: the recusal process

Every Council member files annual conflict-of-interest disclosures covering employment, advisory roles, equity, honoraria, and research funding. When a Standards vote touches a counterparty named in any disclosure, the relevant Council member auto-recuses. Recusals are public — included in every Standards vote tally.
